Fabulous way to enjoy Amsterdam - We have used this company before and this trip was just as good. We had a trainee captain being supervised and he provided extra commentary to the ear phones. Blue Boats is an excellent trip and we will definitely go on them again.

Good value - enjoyable and informative. - A really enjoyable and good value activity. The audio guide worked perfectly and we saw a huge area of Amsterdam from the small canals up to Amsterdam Centraal. Refreshments are available.

cruise with Audio Guide in French. - We did 2 canal cruises with 2 different companies and we preferred the 75 min cruise with the blue boat company. Be careful, there are several boats that look the same. This one had a very nice captain and we were given headphones to listen in French. The other boat was a 90mn cruise but everything in English and Dutch and we could hear nothing because of the noise of travelers nearby. Award was the same , 22 euros per person.

Great tour of the canals and harbor - We really enjoyed our boat/canal tour. Inside the boat are multiple rows of tables with benches facing the tables. Basically seating for approximately 4 adults facing each other at each table. You are given headphones which plug in at the table, choose your language, and there are short blurbs throughout the ride which review history or some information on what you are seeing. We had a great time and found this adventure relaxing and informative.

A nice tour through the canals of Amsterdam under cover. - This was a nice daytime tour through the some of the Amsterdam canals. We had already done a night tour and this was the perfect compliment to that tour. What was also nice is they had headphones and a prerecorded guide spoke about the sites we were seeing as we passed by. The prerecorded guide was available in multiple languages. Unlike some of the boats, this boat also had cover which was needed to prevent too much sun exposure.

Well, they're not engaged. - He was refused entry by the Heineken Experience, which was supposed to be free of charge, with an Eye Amsterdam card. I saw the Blue Boat sign on the other side of the road, so I went and got on board comfortably with the I Amsterdam card. There were only 10 of us, including us, but our captain and tour conductor uncle was able to steer the ship, explain the sights, greet the passing ships, and be considerate of our guests, which was very enjoyable. However, when I listened to the Japanese tape with my earphones, unfortunately, it was misaligned and this tape guide was completely useless.

No audio guided tour ! - No Audio throughout the tour.Paid for a audible guide and didn't get it. Manager didn't want to give refund and was told our fault for not informing the captain. Why would you want to disturb someone driving a boat. Avoid.
